A former British police detective has reignited debate around UFOs after revealing that more than 1,100 police officers have allegedly reported sightings of unexplained aerial objects over the past century, with some officers so disturbed by what they witnessed that they later 'cried down the phone' while recounting their experiences.
Gary Heseltine, a retired British Transport Police detective and founder of the PRUFOS police UFO database, claims the reports came from serving and retired officers across the UK. According to Heseltine, many never told their families what they saw because they feared ridicule, damage to their careers, or being branded unstable.
